We have to admit that the Volkswagen Phaeton has a connection to Bentley’s models - one can’t deny the presence of the W12 powerplant under the VW flagship sedan’s model.
However, the aforementioned statement is one thing and trying to actually turn the Paheton into a Bentley is another one. This is exactly what the owner of a Phaeton did, and now the car is offered on Craigslist.

The VW sedan has been fitted with the following Bentley elements: the front grille, specific badges, a set of chrome wheels, the brakes, as well as a key.

Now that you know all about the car’s aspiration, we have to explain that it does come with a W12 engine, as well as a ton of options. Like we said, this thing is actually for sale and the piece of overkill comes with a price of $17,000 (€12,600 at the current exchange rate).
